1600HP MK3 Supra – Taking it to the Streets

January 30th, 2017

They call me Ishmael – not really – but this is a whale story. Moby Dick it ain’t but a great white whale of a 1987 Toyota Supra is the star of this story. It’s not perfectly clear but I would guess that the moniker “Smiley’s White Whale” is derived from the pale paint color and the whale tail spoiler on the rear. It is perfectly clear, however, that this is no slow moving fish. It is equipped with what is often called a 1.5JZ engine (a 1JZ cylinder head on a 2JZ bottom end). It is a 3.2-liter, in-line Read More

Street Racing – Z06 vs. Porsche 911 and More

July 26th, 2016

BK34 has taken it to the streets (down in Mexico, of course) in his modified Corvette Z06. This bodacious bowtie is equipped with a 6.2-liter supercharger engine from the factory. Add some strategically placed bolt-ons, a camshaft upgrade, and some upgraded cylinder heads and you have the advertised 580whp.

The Porsche is running some very pricey aftermarket add-ons and claiming 540hp at the rear wheels. This is highly-competitive, 3-wide roll racing. Let’s take a Read More

May 5th, 2016

With some recent performance upgrades this fantastic looking Supra showed up in Orlando, Florida, at Street Car Takeover. You may remember this car from the Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws television series. It got drug by the Farm Truck – but that was several hundred-horsepower ago. This hot rod is running a 3.4-liter 2JZ motor with a Real Street RSP1600 package installed. It has a fresh Precision 8385 turbocharger, a 100+ shot direct port nitrous injection, and a heavy-duty TH400 automatic transmission. The combination is good for 1300hp and posted a best ET of 8.17-seconds @ 176 mph. Since this was the Read More

June 9th, 2015

Take a look at Geo’s Toyota Supra as he campaigns in the Street Car Class of the Street Car Takeover at Orlando Speed World in – guess where? – Orlando, Florida. This video features great heads-up action between some of the fastest “run-what-cha’-brung” cars that you will ever see. This Supra is taking on Mustangs and Camaros all day. Still, Geo manages to lay down a 1/4-mile pass of 8.32-seconds @ 172.47 mph, before getting robbed by the timing equipment in the finals. Oh well, better luck next time. Geo’s Supra is equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 Toyota engine and Read More
